ORBiTL GamePlay
ORBiTL GamePlay is an engaging and transformative solution designed to address the inefficiencies in large-scale IT projects. By introducing sports-themed gamification, GamePlay turns traditional project tracking into a fun, collaborative, and highly effective experience. Developers earn points or runs for their team by meeting daily targets, creating a sense of accountability, boosting morale, and driving productivity. Starting with a cricket-themed interface tailored for off-shore development teams, ORBiTL GamePlay also offers other sports, such as basketball, ensuring global appeal and team engagement.
The true power of GamePlay lies in its daily progress insights. By capturing real-time updates from team members, project managers gain unparalleled visibility into daily activities, enabling them to spot bottlenecks, identify struggling areas, and respond to issues before they derail the project. This real-time data empowers project managers to keep projects on track, on budget, and aligned with goals.
Combining gamification with actionable insights, ORBiTL GamePlay bridges the gap between engagement and operational success. It’s a proven tool to enhance collaboration, improve productivity and communication, and deliver measurable results. Whether it’s motivating teams or ensuring projects meet deadlines, ORBiTL GamePlay drives productivity where it matters most.
GamePlay Case Study
A large ERP implementation with £11m/year budget and 50+ delivery resources had an issue:
“It became difficult to sustain productivity, leading to a high risk of project overrun.”
Introduced ORBiTL GamePlay - Cricket.
-
Within 2 weeks, 18-25% immediate gain in efficiency
-
13-20% sustained efficiency through multi-releases.
-
It reduced project costs by 11%, which was £1.2m per year.
-
There was a visible increase in the team’s focus and commitment.
ORBiTL RATE
Requirements Assessment & Technical Evaluation (RATE)
Understanding and managing functional and technical requirements is the foundation of any project.
Using our 60+ years of experience, we have developed ORBiTL RATE. Requirements Assessment & Technical Evaluation. RATE is a framework and algorithm that evaluates the maturity of functional and technical requirements.
-
RATE adds a calculated weighting to the effort of each task. For example, if a task has 20 days of effort estimated but the technical requirements have not been specified properly, the RATE algorithm assesses the maturity and then adds an appropriate weighting, showing that the task estimation should be 24 days, for example.
-
System Integrators are able to demonstrate the impacts the immature requirements will have on the project. The result is a better client/SI relationship and better project planning.
-
RATE fixes the foundations, and by applying RATE-weighted calculations to all other aspects of the project planning and forecasting, it provides a far, far more accurate solution for running a successful on and time and on-budget project.
Task Planning & Resource Allocation
ORBiTL's comprehensive task planning and resource allocation tool streamlines the process of organising sprints across multiple teams, including task allocation, capacity management, and progress tracking.
The tool enhances task planning by providing detailed visibility of tasks, priorities, and dependencies and automated task suggestions based on various criteria. It also offers insights into team members' availability and workload, ensuring a realistic and achievable sprint plan that aligns with team capacity.
Release Sizing & Prioritisation
ORBiTL's release sizing and prioritisation tool offers a sophisticated solution for accurately estimating release sizes and effectively prioritising tasks. It considers various factors such as business value, technical complexity, and resource availability.
Integrated with adjustments from the RATE index, the tool enables project managers to assess and categorise tasks by importance and complexity. This aids in setting realistic goals for each release and ensuring that critical tasks are prioritised.
​
Project Planning & Backlog Management
ORBiTL's project planning and backlog management tool efficiently handles project tasks and priorities. It provides a centralised platform for listing, categorising, and prioritising tasks, with easy options for updating and reprioritising as project needs evolve. This ensures project plans align with current priorities and resources, improving overall project management efficiency. The tool effectively addresses the challenges of managing complex backlogs, enhancing visibility, estimation accuracy, and prioritisation, leading to smoother execution and improved project outcomes.
